Supreme Court declines to hear case against Monsanto

Decision makes case effectively dead in the water

On January 2, Boulder Weekly reported that a brief had been filed with The U.S. Supreme Court to hear a class-action lawsuit against agro-beheamoth Monsanto.

"The brief is an effort to get the high court to hear and reinstate the
OSGATA case, which now has a plaintiff group that has swelled to more
than 300,000 individuals and 4,500 farms, along with numerous seed
businesses and public advocacy groups, all of whom are seeking
protection from potential Monsanto patent infringement lawsuits and the
damages caused when Monsanto’s genetically engineered (GE) pollen
contaminates organic or non- GE crops by way of drift or other
accidental means. The suit also seeks to invalidate Monsanto’s patents
on 23 of the company’s GE crops," we wrote.
